I rebuilt mine myself with the help of tom and rocco on the phone with me. You live in washington as well so it won't be a pain for me to help you

just watch out it can be time consuming and things can sneak up on you and you will find more and more things you will want to change out... at least I did. it was a well while I am at it I might as well do this... or replace that... or clean up this...

The rebuild is easy. But time consuming. Triple checking n labeling and torqueing and plastiguage
